Lemon Tincture for Flavouring

Pare the lemons quite thin and cover the shavings of the yellow rind with good grain-alcohol. Cork tight. When ready for use the alcohol will be bright yellow. This should then be poured off into a second bottle from which it is to be used.

LEMON SUGAR FOR FLAVOURING (Or "Zest") Rub lumps of sugar over lemon rind until the oil cells are broken, when the oil will be absorbed by the sugar. Place the sugar in an air-tight jar and it will be ready for dissolving at any time.
